Out of Retirement, Roger Gracie Tops List of Seven New ONE FC Signings

Ten time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion Roger Gracie is among seven new signings announced on Friday by ONE FC. The Strikeforce and UFC veteran is set to make his debut later this year and will compete in the light heavyweight division.

Gracie (6-2) is a third degree BJJ black belt and initially announced his retirement from MMA after being released by the UFC, but appears to have had a change of heart after a recent training trip to Singapore.

Another light heavyweight to sign on with Asia’s biggest MMA promotion is undefeated Polish fighter Michal Pasternack (10-0), who will be competing in the 205-pound division alongside the likes of Gracie, Jake Butler, James McSweeney, and Christian Kaminishi.

Asia’s biggest MMA promotion can also boast two more fighters with perfect professional records among its ranks after picking up South African welterweight Warren De Reuck (7-0) and Brazilian middleweight Rafael Atilho (7-0).

They are have proven records to boost and they add competition in their respective weight classes. They don’t come cheap neither. Glad they are all international, giving each to represent their respective home country. Can’t wait to see how each fighter fair. Hope they all do well.
